Chapter 255 - The Drama Of Internal Conflict
Qin Bailu was holding onto three paternity test reports and a stack of photos.
The paternity test report showed that she and Qin Chongwen were not related at all. It showed that she and Bai Shuangshuang were mother and daughter, and Min Guili and she were father and daughter.
As for the stack of photos, they were all taken when Bai Shuangshuang and Min Guili were together. The two of them were very intimate in the photos, and one could tell their relationship at a glance.
"H-how could I possibly… I'm the daughter of the Qin Family. These are all fake! You guys deliberately got them to lie to me!"
"Second Miss Qin, why are you lying to yourself?"
"Miss Yu personally asked me to investigate this. Second Miss Qin should know that Qiu Jian's sudden disappearance is related to Miss Yu."
"And Qiu Jian seemed to have said something to Second Miss Qin."
Lin Zimu knew that because Min Rufeng had told Yan Jinyu after the interrogation. Yan Jinyu had instructed Lin Zimu to tell Qin Bailu everything.
Indeed, Qin Bailu froze when she heard that.
Qiu Jian said that she was used by someone.
And till now, she still didn't know who was the one using her.
"Second Miss Qin, you can take a look at these photos." Lin Zimu handed over a few more photos.
They were photos of Bai Shuangshuang and Min Sisi together. They were all occasions that Qin Bailu did not know about.
In every photo, Bai Shuangshuang was looking at Min Sisi with a gentle gaze that Qin Bailu had never seen before. No, she had seen it before at the tea party that Bai Shuangshuang had organized a few days ago.
Her hand that was holding the photo trembled. "W-What are these?"
Lin Zimu didn't answer and instead asked ambiguously, "What does Second Miss Qin think this is?"
Qin Bailu stared at the photo and looked at him in disbelief. "Y-you mean Min Sisi and my mother…"
Her mother had an affair with Min Sisi's father, and the paternity test said that she and Min Sisi's father were father and daughter. Then, were she and Min Sisi sisters?
Looking at her mother's attitude towards Min Sisi, could it be that they were sisters from the same parents?
No!
It can't be!
Her mother's attitude towards her was completely different from her attitude towards Min Sisi. Moreover, the person who used her as a tool was very likely her mother!
Who was it that her mother pushed her out to be a target for?
Other than Min Sisi, she could not think of anyone else!
"Are they mother and daughter too?!"
"No, they're not," Lin Zimu said and handed over another paternity test. It was Bai Shuangshuang and Min Sisi's test report.
Qin Bailu grabbed it and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the content.
It was good that they weren't. Otherwise, she… she really wouldn't know what to do.
"However, Bai Shuangshuang, your mother, seems to think that Min Sisi is her real biological daughter."
Speaking of this, Lin Zimu sighed.
When he received these things, he felt like he had discovered a huge scandal.
Bai Shuangshuang was extremely adored by Qin Chongwen. Because of Bai Shuangshuang, Qin Chongwen had ignored Young Master Qin and Eldest Miss Qin for so many years. He did not expect that his and Bai Shuangshuang's daughter was, in fact, not his biological daughter, but Min Guili's.
Bai Shuangshuang had even secretly kept in contact with Min Guili all these years, and their relationship seemed to be quite good.
Most importantly, Qin Bailu seemed to think that Min Sisi was her daughter, but in reality, Min Sisi was not.
Not only was she not her daughter, Min Sisi was also…
What a huge scandal. After he got the results, he didn't immediately call his boss and Miss Yu. He only roughly told his boss that he had already settled the matter and was prepared to personally send these documents to his boss and Miss Yu to show them so that they could come and take a look too.
"Bai Shuangshuang thinks that Min Sisi is her daughter. So, who did she push you out for? I'm sure without me saying anything, Second Miss Qin should know too."
Qin Bailu pinched the photo in her hand. Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she still said, "How do I know if you're telling the truth?"
"Second Miss Qin will know if it's true or not later."
"The boss has already gotten someone to send the people who caused trouble for Miss Yu at the mall yesterday to the Qin Family, and has provided enough evidence to prove that this matter is related to Second Miss Qin. Qin Chongwen and Bai Shuangshuang are currently rushing from the Qin Family to the hospital. If Bai Shuangshuang feels that you're really her daughter, she will definitely not hand you over no matter what."
"By the way, Boss still has evidence of Second Miss Qin hiring the assassins."
Qin Bailu was extremely shocked.
Lin Zimu continued, "If we hand in both the previous evidence and the current evidence, Second Miss Qin will probably spend the most of your remaining life in prison."
"Second Miss Qin is a smart person. You should know what to do."
"Of course, if Second Miss Qin is willing to be used by your biological mother like this and doesn't care that the kinship all these years is just a scam by the other party, a scam to pave the way for Min Sisi, and you're willing to forgive her and intend to tell her the truth, we won't stop you either."
"However, we don't know if we will be handing Second Miss Qin's evidence over."
"If Second Miss Qin doesn't want to spend the rest of your life in prison…"
Lin Zimu didn't continue.
Sometimes, the effect of leaving half of the sentence unsaid was even greater.
"By the way, Miss Yu said that if Second Miss Qin is smart enough, she can forgive you for offending her twice in a row."
"She has evidence and yet she's still willing to let me off?"
"That's right, Miss Yu is beautiful and kind. Even if Bai Shuangshuang decides to hand you over later, Miss Yu will let you off, but the premise is that you've got to be smart enough."
"Master Nine wanted the Qin Family to give him an explanation. My parents… If she let me go after the Qin Family handed me over, isn't she afraid that others will think that Master Nine's dignity can be violated when word gets out?"
"Of course, our boss's dignity couldn't be offended, but Miss Yu is the one handling this matter. Our boss adores Miss Yu, so naturally, Miss Yu can do whatever she wants."
"Besides, Second Miss Qin is still Eldest Miss Qin and Young Master Qin's younger sister in name. Eldest Miss Qin is our boss's sister-in-law. Young Master Qin is our boss's former comrade. Letting you go can also be said to be giving the two of them face. It won't offend our boss's dignity."
Adore!
Qin Bailu caught that word.
Master Nine adored Yan Jinyu. He didn't care even if what Yan Jinyu did would offend his dignity!
He actually handed everything to Yan Jinyu to decide by herself!
Undoubtedly, she was jealous, but she knew that now was not the time to be jealous. She had more important things to do.
They had evidence in their hands. What if they handed the evidence over to the authorities if she didn't cooperate? Would she really have to spend the rest of her life in prison?
No! Then, she would really be ruined!
"What does Yan Jinyu want me to do?"
"Nothing much. We just want you to pretend that you don't know anything and cooperate with Qin Chongwen and Bai Shuangshuang. Let them send you to Mount West Villa. At that time, we will tell the outside world that Eldest Miss Qin personally pleaded for you and our boss only let you off because he gave Eldest Miss Qin face."
"As for what you want to do after you return from the Mount West Villa, our boss and Miss Yu don't care as long as you continue to pretend that you don't know anything."
"That's it?" Qin Bailu didn't believe that Yan Jinyu would let her go just like that.
"Yes, that's it."
"However, if I'm Second Miss Qin and have been used by someone for so many years, I won't let it go so easily. Of course, if Second Miss Qin values that kinship and doesn't want to pursue it, that's Second Miss Qin's own decision."
"I'll leave these things for Second Miss Qin as souvenirs. However, Second Miss Qin has to hide them well. Even if you want to expose Bai Shuangshuang, your identity as the Second Miss of the Qin Family will probably be gone if Qin Chongwen finds out about this."
"There's still a Mrs. Min in the Min Family. It won't be easy for you to change your surname to Min."
"I've said everything that needs to be said. Second Miss Qin, think about it carefully. Qin Chongwen and Bai Shuangshuang should be coming over very soon. If Second Miss Qin is smart enough, hide these things well. You have to conceal your emotions too."
"You don't have to say anything more! I know what to do!"
Lin Zimu smiled. "It's good that you know."
"Then, Second Miss Qin, good luck."
As soon as Lin Zimu left the ward, Qin Bailu tore the photo in her hand as if she was crazy.
She stopped after tearing a few photos and then hid the paternity test results and the remaining photos well.
She actually knew what Yan Jinyu was planning. She simply wanted to see them fight amongst themselves.
However, even if she knew Yan Jinyu's plan, she would still do as Yan Jinyu said.
Not only because Yan Jinyu had evidence that could send her into the abyss anytime, but also because her mother, whom she respected so much, had only schemed against her all these years!
It was fine if she only had schemed against her, but she still pushed her out to be Min Sisi's scapegoat.
Unforgivable!
After Qin Bailu hid the things for a while, the door of the ward was opened again.
"Bailu, are you feeling better?" Qin Chongwen asked Qin Bailu, who was sitting on the bed.
Qin Bailu had already forced herself to conceal her emotions, and her gaze landed on Bai Shuangshuang. She only looked at Qin Chongwen after hearing his words.
She felt a little complicated.
She did not think so in the past, but now that she knew that the person in front of her was not her biological father, she actually felt a little uncomfortable.
If her mother had really schemed against her all these years, then perhaps the only person who had really treated her well was this person whom she had called Daddy for 19 years.
She could have been the legitimate daughter of the Qin Family, but everything was ruined because of this woman in front of her!
Everyone said that her mother was a mistress who had risen to power. All these years, she had always felt sorry for her. She always believed that those people had only heard rumors and her parents were really in love.
However, reality had slapped her hard.
She couldn't blame others for saying those things about her. This woman was really… cheap!
She had already married into the Qin Family, but she still seduced the head of the Min Family!
She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.
"I felt much better. Thank you, Daddy."
Qin Chongwen was surprised that she was suddenly so polite.
"Dad and Mom have been leaving me alone in the hospital since last night. Why are you here now?" It seemed like she was asking the two of them, but in fact, she was only looking at Bai Shuangshuang.
"Leave you alone?" Qin Chongwen looked at Bai Shuangshuang, "Didn't your mother keep you company here for the entire night? She only returned home at noon."
Qin Bailu sneered inwardly.
Ignoring Bai Shuangshuang's warning gaze, she stared at her. "Mom, did you keep me company here last night? Don't tell me that you didn't go home at night and were using me as an excuse?"
Bai Shuangshuang was furious and she glared at her.
At the same time, she felt strange. What was wrong with Qin Bailu today? Not only did she ignore her warning, but she also spoke strangely.
Qin Chongwen frowned, "Shuangshuang, what does Bailu mean?"
